Letter to the Editor: Checking up on public servants

The RTA has been doing their usual fine job of finding ways to spend all of the money they get. No new ideas though. While criminal trespass warnings and arrests have declined, according to RTA documents the board has decide to spend 50 percent more for security.

Some agency (TxDOT, the city or the county?) has spent our tax dollars replacing the sloped sidewalk corners on Saratoga Boulevard and other locations with ... sloped sidewalk corners?! What was the reason?

And the city is apparently unhappy with the weight of my bathtub as I drive it around town because they’re going to raise my water fees. Boy, I’m lucky. Now I don’t have to pay more taxes. And, to soothe my feelings about the potholes with streets going by them, the city is going to spend the small sum of $69 million on the bayfront.
